Yesterday I took the scenic route from Oamaru around bucolic All Day Bay on my way to Moeraki. Pastures right up to sand dunes and then wide swaths of beach and rolling surf. The air was salty and seaweedy and heavenly.
Visited the incredible and sort of alien Moeraki Boulders . They really are a sight to see!
Then I drove into Moeraki and was utterly charmed. Ate at a sensational restaurant Fleur's Place . The best meal I've had in New Zealand thus far. Fresh caught fish over local, organic greens Whitestone cheese and smoked eel! The eel was incredible. So yummy. Think I'll have to drive the hour for a second visit with Justin. Picked up a house cook/photo book. It's beautifully done and while yours wouldn't be signed by the owner on site (like mine is) it would make a great coffee table book: you can purchase one here. If you are in this area do not leave without a visit!!!
Finished the drive to Dunedin and went to a Bikram yoga class in the afternoon, my first since my shoulder surgery and it went really well! Half Moon pose kicks my butt every class and yesterday was no exception, but at least it's the first posture (after breathing) so I don't have to dread it all class.
Justin is in Dubai and will be catching his flight morning. He flies to Melbourne then Auckland then onto Wellington and finally Dunedin. The trip will take him about 24 hours and a total of four flights.... poor guy!

We went to the mounds! They are so cool - don't seem to possibly be natural. Too bad we missed the great restaurant in the area.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am thinking about Justin on a plane right now. Hope all the flights go well and there are no delays along the way. You must be counting the hours.
Up since 5am with Jo, but she only woke up once last night. Up once with Addy - not sure why....she came out of her room at 3 and said "I go downstairs". I informed her it was still night time and snuggled in bed with her.
New week. Pretty busy with Addy having her holiday concert on Thursday. Playdates, gymnastics, etc.But Nate has Thursday off since he had to work on Sunday. So that is a plus!
